Healthful Bed Covering.

The covering of a bed ought to be
light as well as warm. Good House.
keeping affirms that wooden blankets
arc far more healthful than heavy CON-
fortables, which admit of no ventila-
ton, but instead absorb and retain the
exhalations of the body
One blanket of wool, no matter how
coarse Its quality, has more warmth re-
tanning power than heavy comfortable;
yet because the feeling of weight is
lacking there is immediate outcry that
1t is cold. The lesser weight will mean
quieter sleep of far more refreshing
quality than any to be had under the
heavy cotton.

Little Edith'S MiniStratiOn.

A touching little incident comes to
us OF a young mother who was hope
lessly i'll, but quite unconscious of her
condition. One afternoon her physi-
clans held a consultation, and, afterward
announced the sad fact that she had but
short time to live, to the husband and
the sister Of the patient. The four ex-
changed opinions as to the wisdom of
telling her. and were quite unmindful
of little Edith, the only child of the
dying woman, five years old, who was
busily playing with dolls, apparently
unconscious Of what was going on about
her. But, in few minutes, the little
Edith left her toys, walked slowly up
stairs and went directly to her mothers
room. With the aid of a chair. she
placed herself on the bed at her moth
ers side, when she kissed the wan cheek
and asked in low, tender tones:
'Mamma: are you going to dle?'
The mother was startled by the ques-
ton, and hesitatingly asked.
"Who told you?-do they think
-"No matter, dear mamma, you needn't
be fraid at all; hold my hand tight like
this, shut you eyes clos., and I will
stay by you, and when you wake up
again you will be where It's all light. "
Then the eyes were closed as directed,
the hands tightly clasped for few NOM
euts, and when the members of the
family re-entered the room the child
looked up and said:

she was not fraid at al" Boston

The following is more true than
elegant: "And this is Kansas, who a
little while ago sat upon her launches
and viewed the world, but the world
knew her not. She gazed at the great
train of progress as it rumbled needless
ly by. The thought stabbed her. and
like a flash see seized the rear rail of
the hindmost car and swung to her, off
with the throng. But she was not sat-
lsfed. She slid along through every

and, seating herself on the cowcatcher,

and that is what she did.
The history of trade shows that fail
ure is the rule and winning the eAocp.-
ion.
Money moves the corps that make
the great west the granary of the world.
One man is Oyernice aud becomes
fussy; another is careless and loses his
trade.
The same great lesson Of failure is
taught in the professions that is taught
in trade.
One man runs his business because
he is sloven; another runs it because
he is a fop.
Men neither win nor lose in the same
way. One fails and is smart; another
wins ana ne Is dull.

Integrity, honor and piety do not
save man from disaster if he fails to
observe the law of success.
Talent and temper often 60 together.
1t is rare to find a sharp, bright man
that is courteous man.
The law Of success is as certain as
the law of the tides. All must obey
these laws if they would prosper.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS
It Would be Well For All Young
HOusekeepers to Remember

That buttermilk will take out mildev
stains.
That bottles are easily cleaned with
hot water and fine Goals.
That pallet knife should be used
to scrape pots and kettles.
That old napkins and old table-cloths
make the very best of glass cloths.
That zinc Is best cleaned with hot
soapy water, then polished with kero-
sene.
That it is we'll to keep large piece of
charcoal in damp corners and in dark
places.
That three teaspoons of kerosene put
in the wash boiler, will greatly assist in
the last rubbing.
That oilcloth may be kept bright for
years if properly vanished each season
with any good siccative.
That if the hands are rubbed on a
stick of celery after peeling onions, the
smell will be entirely removed.
That lamp wicks give better light
when cut square across and should not
be peckcd off as some advocate.
That if soap is purchased in large
quantities and kept in warm, dry
place. half the usual amount will be
required.
That tubs will not warp or crack open
if the precautlon is taken to put pail
of water into each directly after use.
That if cucumber is cut into strips
and the pieces put into places where
ants arc found it will surely drive them
away.

That chloride of lime should be scat
tered, at least once week, under sinks
and in all places where sewer gas is
liable to Turk.
That it is all excellent plan to have
a penny bank to be opened once year,
when book may be purchased or the
contents be used in any way desired.
That one pound of fine tobacco put
with pail of boiling water and allowed
to partially cool, when put upon car
tret with a soft brush will brighten the
color and remove surface dirt.
That turpentine and black varnish
put with any good stove polish, is the
blacking used by hardware dealers for
polishing heating stoves. If properly
put on it will last throughout season.
That table linens should always be
bemmed by hand. Not only do they
look more dainty but there is never a
streak of dirt under the edge after be-
ing laundried as with machine sewing.
That to preserve eggs for winter use
you will require one pint of fresh slaked
lime, and one-half pint of common salt
to three GALLONS of water. Use la
die with which to put them into the
crock, cover with an old plate and keep
in dry place. If fresh eggs are put
in, fresh eggs will come out.
That great care should be taken in
washing milk cans, and all vessels into
WHICH milk is set, as milk ''turns" very
readily when plt in an unclean dish.
Wash first in cold water, second in
strong solution of soda and water and
then in clean tcpid water. Wipe dry,
and if possible set out of doors to sun
and air.-Nrs. W. II. Maher, in Good

THE CALIFORNIA BOOM
BURSTED.

The Emporia Republican gives the
following interview with Californian
A Reporter of the Republican at the
Santa Fe depot yesterday met an old
friend from California, Mr.. McGrew
On being interviewed, Mr.. McGrew
said: II have unloaded my California
real estate. The property is being sold
at cxorbitant prices He sold twenty
acres Of land near Riverside for $40 200.
The property, he says, will not pay
one per cent On the investment. The
only crop that can be raised is oranges,
and he says the expense of irrigation
takes the profit, except in very good
years. This year. Mr.. McGrew says, is
an unusually good one. If the crop
next year is an average of the past six
years, hundreds of eastern people who
have invested, will come back broke.
Many have bought property and paid
all the money they had, with hopes of
paying the remainder from the receipts
of the crop. The average crop for six
years has not more than paid expenses
for that period. Mr.. McGrew is
wealthy man, and an old resident of
the "dolden State, and his judgement
ought to be good. He said: Il an
loaded at the highest price l could get,
and will spend the money In the east.
No tears will be shed in any quar-
ter over the retirement of VIM. A. j.
Sparks as commissioner of the general
land Office. He may have had good in
tentions but had bad way of showing
it. Secretary Lamar never did more
popular act than in boosting him out Of
the place in which he had made himself
50 obnoxious.

Anecdotes Told of An Artist.

A Vienna paper relates the following two anecdotes of the artist Amerling. One day he met girl of rare beauty and boldly spoke to her. She turned away without answering, whereupon he remaHSed: "I am the painter Amerling, and would like 10 paint your portrait on account of your beauty" She gently declined the honor, whereupon he remarked; II must paint you even though l should have to marry you firstn Four weeks later the beauty, whose mother was Spanish, was his wife, and four months later divorce followed "The saddest thing about her was" he remarked, "that she did not take the slightest interest in my art work. l believe she has never looked at any of the pictures on my walls. " Amerling was not fond of teaching his art, but one day lady appeared with a girl and asked if he would not instruct her. He said no, but added that if she would sit in corner and watch him working, she might do so. For num- Der of days she lady came with the girl and Amerling did not pay the slightest attention to them, till one day he dis covered by chance that the elderly lady was the Princess Christine of Saxony. mother of King Carlo Alberto.

POPULAR PHRASES.
The Origin of Sayings That Have Passed
 Into Everyday Use.

The Origin of Sayings That Have Passed
 Into Everyday Use.
 Bag and baggage is doubtless an old proyerbial expression in regard to the movement of an army. Touch- stone says in As You Like It'': "Come, shepherd. let us make an honorable re- treat; though not with bag and bag gage, yet with scrip and scrippage." !" The way in which the phrase is used shows that it is well known one, and the joke turns on that fact. "Dead as a door-nail' is an old proyerbial com parison which Shakespeare repeated. Hit or miss is part of proverbial phrase, ''Hit or miss for cow's heel. :" .'Love is blind' is simply the obvious deduction from the old.fable and must be one of the oldest expressions in the language. Love is blind, but sees afar' is an old Italian proyerb. ''Sell- ing for a songn sounds like a proverbial phrase; but where the clown in "All's s Well That Ends Welln speaks of a man that "sold goodly manor for song the thing looks like new coinage. ''Fast and loose" is not of Shakes pearean origin. The phrase comes from an old juggler's trick employed by sharpers at country fairs "To play at fast and loose" was to play this game, in which, after both ends of string seemed securely fastened, the juggler suddenly slipped it away. Westward hoh is probably not a Shakespearean coinage. It was a common phrase in his day and was the title of drama by Thomas Dekker and John Webster, Shakespeare contemporaries; and Eastward ho'' was the name of the drama by Ben Jonson, Marston and Chapman, which cost the authors a state prosecution. Familiarity breeds contempt" is an old proyerb; the Latin form of it is: .'Nimia familiaritas contemptum parit." 'Misery makes strange bed-fellows" is simply ver- sion of the proverb: .'Misery acquaints men with strange bed-fellows. s.n Birds of feather flock together is an old proyerb. -RocheSter Express.

A LIBERAL MEMBER.
Ills Speech in the Legislature on the second
 Day of the Session.


 Member from Persimmon County --"Mr. Speaker: I arise. sir, to ques- ton of privilege, I reckon. l don't know much about the inside workin's of Legislature, and if am maxim a mistake in this step hope you will ex- cuse me. l left home in a hurry and didn't have time to change my clothes, and in fact l didn't have no clothes to change. It makes proud man feel sorter bad to be ina town without bein sorter dressed up, and move you, sir, that l be allowed the six dollars for yesterdays service, that I may sortcr rig myself mp. Down the street a piece l saw a suit of clothes marked five dollars and half. If get my six dollars l can pay for the suit of clothes, and, when l ain't got nothin' particu- lar to do, git on pleasant jamboree with the extra fifty cents. The people of this here town have accused the country members of bein' close, and the reason l want to get on the jamboree is to show them that there ain't nothin' close about me. We all admire economy, but we can not respect man that is stingy. Jest before leayin' home my wife said to me-an' them that know her will low that Sue is monstrous sensible woman, ef she ain t none too good-lookin said to me: Jim, when you git down thar, don't be small Slosh round an show the folks down there that the people of this here community ain { all slouches. Pay fur your shere of every thing, even if it costs twenty-five cents. Don't let your colleague, Bucksnort Fagleson, fly higher than you do.' I shall carry out that advice, sir, and don't you fail to ketch occasional glimpses of that fact. I would like to state right here, if it ain't stretchin' the question of privilege leetle too fur, that I've got mighty fine two-year-old heifer for sale. She is the favorite daughter of COW whose liberality is celebrated all over the neighborhood and whose breath has not yet begun to smell of the peniiyrile hill- side. This maiden has gentle dispo- sitions and has not yet learned to injure her ribs by the lashing of tail that's got a atwo-pound yaller clay sling shot on the end of it. She has an active but modest and unassuming ap- petite, and while she may not be wuth as much as the yaller calf that Aaron sot up in the wilderness, yet she is wuth four dollars of any man $ money.
